Are you talking about the same thing? Because the identifier above is claimed to have 13b of entropy. Is there another high entropy identifier?


13b, if usage statistics are disabled (not the default). Otherwise, unspecified amount of entropy.


Actually, the low entropy provider is used for any field trials that get included in the header.

See: https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/components/variations/v...


thanks. and ugh.



13b plus IP is already huge, but browsers leak so much more than that.


By default it's much more than 13b. Seems to be 13b only if you disable analytics/crash reports.
